Hi there,

You will have to get the ECU tested for an internal fault with the data collection system, also check that the Engine check light is on with the key on and engine of, if not check the globe and re scan.

It's probably a blown fuse. Check for power at pin 16 on the DLC (the bottom right corner of the connector)
